Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'I prefer to go as soon as I can to the fountainhead, and to read, say, "Mein Kampf," to reading about Hitler. Such books I buy and read through without skipping or skimming, - marking, annotating and "grangerising". Other books dealing with the subject can then be got from the library and read quickly.'
